Your project so far is great. I personally am a fan of the episodic unlocking of the forms, and they all contributing something to the exploration of the game. My only gripe is that some forms are really cryptic, being cat / golden retriever and finding the elf took me a while because i didnt notice that the area was open
also the manticore section was good i'd like if there was more to it

Thanks glad to hear you like it^^
Yeah I do see that, they are a lot harder to find.
Also did you know you can get hints on where to find all forms, in the forest where the Nana wakes up as a fox? Just want to know if you knew that so I get a better understanding if I maybe should add a few more hints.
If you have any suggestions for a few good spots or ideas for hints you are welcomed to share!
I did know about the hints before i found those, i think that for the cat hint, it should include a line about it being in the residential area, while the golden retriever one should include a line about owning land, and maybe an addition of a required to pass area in the starter forest where you have to push a barriacde to the side to progress.
for the elf, you could add a check while in golden retriever form of nana saying something about an interesting scent north of the city.
Thanks a lot or the suggestions! I have rewrote the cat and golden retriever ones to:
"A rundown building inside the town is what you are searching for.
Afterwards a relaxing bath in your own home might be the right thing to do."
"Buy a ring from a shady merchant in the northern part of town.
This merchant can be found in the residential area at night."
I like your idea with the scent and added it as well but thought it may be too missable so I came up with something more. For the Northern Plains I came up with a new dialogue that triggers at the Guild if the requirments have met since most people would often visit there.
"You gotten pretty strong Nana.
You should be able to explore the northern plains now too.
But be careful, the monsters there are in bigger groups and stronger."
What do you think of these changes?
